Lon Chaney
LON CHANEY was born in Colorado Springs, Colorado, on April 1st., 1886, and is one of the greatest of screen personalities. Because of the many marvelous characterizations with which he has graced the screen, he is known as "the man with a thousand faces." He is a profound student of the art of make-up, spending hours before the mirror in an attempt to create some new depiction with which to delight his legion of admirers. He began his career as a property man, later developing into a dancer, and astonishing as it may seem, chorus boy. His career as a comedian was suddenly cut short when he burst upon the world as the cripple in "The Miracle Man" and from that day to this he has been identified with serious roles, always exhibiting rare genius in his characterizations. He is 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighs 165 lbs., and has dark hair and brown eyes.
